Subs and Direct Debits
Thanks everyone for a really great response to our efforts to get our Subscriptions right. As you will appreciate, subs are a critical income for us as they pay for vital things such as:
- Membership of the Scout Association
- Insurance (against accidents and other things)
- Badges
- Pinsent
- Services at District, County and National levels
- Leader Training
- Badges
We pay this out for every child, whether or not they have paid their subs. So when we get 95% of subs in, it really gives us some spare cash to pay for other things like replacement equipment, new equipment, courses to run new activities, etc.
So thanks again. We all appreciate your efforts.

New Building Open!
Our new building (it’s definitely not a hut anymore!) will be open after half term. It still won’t have a vinyl floor because the concrete isn’t yet ready to allow the floor to stick to it. But that won’t stop everyone getting settled in and having fun!
Bowling Cancelled 21st Oct
Unfortunately the bowling for Tues 21st Oct has had to be cancelled. We didn’t manage to get enough adults to reach the minimum required to be safe. See you all after half-term when we’ll be in the new building!
